Chapter 686: A Hundredfold Return
There is a nest of badgers in the nest. It's not small.
However, Zhu Yu naturally did not take a fancy to them, but the things hidden under the earthen platform in the dark room on the left!
The earth platform is naturally a bed. On the surface, it looks like solid earth, but in fact it is made of adobe bricks, and there is space inside. At this time, there were two large bags of things wrapped in animal skins in the space.
There are a lot of bits and pieces in a packet, including salt, jerky, and dough.
The contents of the other package opened Zhu Yu's eyes!
It turned out to be dozens of crystal clear rough diamonds!
The smallest ones are the size of broad beans!
The big one is bigger than a baby's fist!
In addition to these diamonds, there are also a number of gold and silver coins, as well as a small pile of natural gold as large as an egg and as small as a fingernail.
Zhu Yu is now completely sure that in his own territory, there is definitely a diamond bonanza!
Think that hundreds of years ago, those Tatars could get so much with primitive means, and now ......
Thinking that there would be a diamond mine in his territory, even if he actually knew that the ore should not be so valuable, Zhu Yu was still excited.
Although diamonds are monopolized, can't we sell them secretly? It is said that diamonds over 10 carats are collectible and can retain their value.
Then let's only pick up the big ones and sell them!
Of course, you can't just sell rough stones, because the profit margin is not high, and it is better to sell them after polishing.
Zhu Yu thought so in his heart, the movements in his hands were not slow, he simply broke a stick from the tree on the side and began to clean up the shrubs in the mouth of the nest.
As soon as the bushes moved, the badgers inside moved, but they didn't come out. After all, this nest is still quite deep.
Zhu Yu got rid of some weeds, and the shrubs that grew out could be knocked down, but they were not clean. Some team members looked over to help, and Zhu Yu hurriedly said:
"I saw that there was freshly picked soil in the entrance of the cave just now, there should be animals in it, don't be bitten!"
As soon as he heard that there was something inside, the team members immediately became energetic, and he beckoned two more people, three of whom held the guy in their hands, and brought a pile of grass nearby, and piled it up at the entrance of the hole.
Soon the grass was on fire, and they covered it with some fresh branches, and the smoke rose from it.
A member of the team took a stick and pushed the pile of smoking firewood into the hole, and soon, a trace of smoke came out around the nest.
Obviously, there are vents in there!
"Go and plug those little openings!" Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Then let's get ready to fightβthings may be smoked out!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard movement in the cave.
The team members were on guard with sticks in their hands.
Zhu Yu took a step back, he could see this thing, but seeing that the team members were blocking in front of him, obviously intending to protect him, he didn't get in the way.
A big badger sprang out, and the first team member smashed it down with a stick!
The power was so great that it smashed the badger directly into the soil!
However, to Zhu Yu's surprise, although the badger was smashed into the soil, it quickly shook its head and stood up again!
Although it looks a little dizzy, it doesn't look like he's seriously injured!
But think about it. This is a flat-headed brother!
The master of the lion dares to bar!
Another member of the team smashed another stick on the badger's back, and this one was a bit hard, and it directly broke the waist - after all, this thing has a hard head, and the waist is not so hard.
I was smashed into the dirt again, and this time I struggled for a while, but I didn't slow down, and I was folded here.
Before the two team members could pack up the loot, another badger sprang out, followed by another!
The movement here attracted the attention of the other team members, so the badger who fled was chased by the other team members.
For a while, the forest was full of shouts and shouts from the players.
Zhu Yu smiled, he was standing here at the entrance of the cave, and he didn't leave. After a while, four badgers had already fallen into the hands of the team members.
"I can make a lot of badger oil today." Cao Dalong said with a small badger in his hand and a smile.
As he was talking, a half-sized badger came out of the mouth of the cave, panicked, and rushed over at Zhu Yu!
"Boss, be careful!" Some team members exclaimed.
Zhu Yu didn't panic at all, he could see that this was the last badger in the cave, and Zhu Yu stepped on it when he raised his foot!
The badger seemed to be sent to his feet, and then he was directly stepped into the soil by Zhu Yu's foot.
Originally, there were team members holding sticks and preparing to wait for the badger to come out from under Zhu Yu's feet, and then give a stick.
But he didn't expect that after the badger was stepped on by Zhu Yu, there was no movement.
"Dalong, take it and get oil." Zhu Yu raised his foot and kicked the badger to Cao Dalong, "Whoever has a burn in the future will go and treat it." β
There are no badgers in there anymore, but there is something even better!
A team member came over with a short shovel, Zhu Yu pointed and said:
"Pull out all the garbage out of here, and then cut down the bushes."
"Boss, there's ...... here"
"As you can see, this is supposed to be the old nest." Zhu Yu said, "I don't know which nationality it is." Since it's someone else's place, there must be some traces. β
Cao Dalong suddenly became excited, took the short shovel in the hands of the team members, and cleared the garbage at the door of the nest with three times and five divisions by two.
The team members in the back immediately pulled these things aside.
As soon as it was cleared, the hole in the ground became larger, and an adult could bend down to enter it.
Cao Dalong touched it in first, cleaning things up while touching, and the team members behind followed the relay.
"There's a lot of space in there!" Cao Dalong's voice came from the entrance of the cave, "It's still a suite, this treatment is good, it's ...... It stinks! β
"Hahahaha!"
The team members outside laughed when they heard this.
Where badgers live, can they smell good?
Soon, the inside was cleaned up. And the team members who caught the badger just now also began to peel the skin and refine the badger's oil.
This thing, before modern medicine, was very good for scalding treatment. Even now, many people in the people, whether they have used it or not, know that this can cure scalds.
It's hard to find, though.
After all, it's about protecting animals.
After cleaning up the inside, Cao Dalong came out, pointed to a pile of "garbage" hundreds of years ago in front of him and said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, that's all there is to it."
Nothing of value is an iron knife, the scabbard looks pretty good, and now it has rusted.
Zhu Yu smiled and bent down to walk inside.
Cao Dalong is happy, you know!
Hehe! The boss shot, how could there be nothing?
The other team members had never seen Zhu Yu's "supernatural", and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, but some team members immediately bent down and followed.
There was a stench in it. Although the things were cleaned up, the smell didn't dissipate in a while.
As soon as he entered the nest, Cao Dalong turned on the flashlight and began to shine in the nest.
The outside is big, and Cao Dalong will take this "living room" first. Zhu Yu didn't care about him, bent down and walked directly inside.
I have to say that the nest dug by those people at that time was really willing to use materials, and it has not collapsed after so many years.
The smell inside was even stronger, Zhu Yu simply held his breath, and then came to the edge of the earthen bed.
Cao Dalong had already come over, looked at the feces on the earthen bed, and asked suspiciously:
"Boss, this dirt platform ......"
"Dig it up!" Zhu Yu pointed to the location.
Cao Dalong's eyes lit up, and he took the short shovel in the player's hand and shoveled it - he returned the shovel to the team just now.
After two or three shovels, the hole was revealed.
Cao Dalong's eyesight is also good, so he directly saw that there was something inside.
He moved faster, directly shoveled the hole wider, squatted down and carefully pulled out the contents inside.
Cao Dalong didn't open it, and looked up at Zhu Yu.
"Let's open it and take a look." Zhu Yu smiled, this animal skin bag is filled with dried meat, salt and the like.
Cao Dalong excitedly opened the animal skin bag, and when he saw the contents inside, he was a little disappointed. The jerky and salt had already changed color, but you could tell what it was when you looked at it.
Cao Dalong carefully read the cover and threw it aside.
He has good eyesight and can see that there is a bag in the hole.
You can't just have food to hide things so carefully, right?
Cao Dalong pulled out the remaining animal skin bag, then looked inside, and found that it was gone, and his heart hung up.
There's got something in there!
Then he looked at Zhu Yu again.
"Open it." Zhu Yu smiled, he rarely saw Cao Dalong's expression.
Cao Dalong lowered his head and opened the package.
"Damn!" Seeing what was inside, Cao Dalong popped out of his mouth with a dirty word, "This thing ......"
"It's not glass, it's not crystal." Zhu Yu knew what he was thinking, "The most valuable kind." β
"Damn! Depend on! Depend on! "Cao Dalong really thought it was crystal at first sight. That thing isn't worth much!
But for another ......
"Let's go, let's get out." Zhu Yu smiled, "This time, let's get the money back for renting land." β
"More than that!" Cao Dalong's heart is still pounding now!
This thing, if it's crystal, that head is really not big, after all, crystal clusters can really grow very big.
But if it's a diamond, this head is a little scary!
He also watched the movie "Blood Diamond".
There are so many diamonds in this bag! And the big one! The smaller ones are more!
There were so many diamonds, Cao Dalong directly ignored the small pile of natural gold and other gold coins.
Carrying the bag, he bent down and walked out of the nest, and several people let out a sigh of relief, finally no longer smelling the stench inside - except for Zhu Yu.
"Boss, what should I do about this?" Cao Dalong was carrying the animal skin bag, a little cautious.
"When we get back to the castle, you go on a business trip and contact someone who can cut diamonds." Zhu Yu said to Cao Dalong, "These diamonds have been processed. After processing, it is quietly sold in the market. β
"Sell?" Cao Dalong looked down at the package, "Boss, don't you stay?" It's so big, it must hold its value! β
"Then think about it, there is such a big piece here, is that ......" Zhu Yu drew a circle with his fingers.
Cao Dalong turned his head and immediately realized, "I understand!" β
"Okay, it's good to know. I'll leave that to you. Zhu Yu smiled, "You first find a company that can cut, in this matter, let's keep a low profile!" β
"Understood, understood!" Cao Dalong said excitedly, "I know! β
Now although the work of the geological experts in the castle is not over, they have just such a bag in their hands, whether it is Zhu Yu or Cao Dalong, they have already determined that there is definitely a diamond mine there!
With such a package of things, Zhu Yu was in a better mood. He watched as the team members had pulled down the badger oil and started refining the oil, while the other team members began to clean up the badger meat with convenient cooking utensils.
"I've heard from herdsmen that this thing has four fishy lines on its four legs, and it has to be removed before it can be eaten." Zhu Yu asked the team member who dismembered the badger, "Really?" β
"I've heard of it too." The team member said while decomposing, "I haven't found the fishy gland, but I've done it, put more ingredients, and press the glandular smell." β
These things are very earthy, and they do need to put a lot of ingredients and cooking wine.
Professional things will be handed over to professional people to do, Zhu Yu didn't ask too much, and the two of them went to other places with Vera.
Vera was also carrying a Mosin Nagant on her back at this time, although she was not very interested in this gun before, but seeing that the team members were all holding guns, she was dressed in a hunting suit, so she also asked for a gun, and from time to time she posed for Zhu Yu to take pictures.
Zhu Yu smiled and cooperated with Vera and took pictures of her.
I have to say that Vera herself is beautiful, and she also looks like a vase, even if it is a vase, it is also a qualified and delicate vase.
Zhu Yu didn't plan to let her be like Pu Lanlan and Croya, it was unrealistic. Not every woman can be a strong woman.
It's eye-catching, beautiful, and informed.
After taking photos for a while, Vera also took a few photos with Zhu Yu.
"Can I post a photo online?" Vera asked for Zhu Yu's opinion.
"Just take a group photo." Zhu Yu shook his head, "Send your own." It's still not very convenient on my side. β
Vera didn't know Zhu Yu's net worth, although she was a little disappointed, she still nodded obediently and went to edit the photos herself.
After a while, the team members shouted for dinner.
Looking at the badger meat, Vera frowned. Lao Maozi rarely eats this thing. There are also few on the side of the group.
But Zhu Yu didn't care, anyway, there were other prey, and he could eat others if he didn't eat this.
After eating, move on.
They circled the neighborhood for three days, and in addition to this piece of the ground, they went around two more military forts that had collapsed. This military fort was built in a hurry, mainly made of wood and stone, and the wood was exposed to the wind and rain outside, and it quickly rotted away.
Zhu Yutianyan opened it and found that there were no valuable things in it, so he followed the team members to explore it by himself, but he didn't make a move.
A few rotten old guns, some household utensils, and dozens of silver coins are no longer worth his hands.
But at this time, Zhu Yu had already thought of the military fort he had rented, and there were still a lot of good things there!
Gotta take your time, get those things out before you leave!
This time, Zhu Yu and the others got a lot of good things, and they were sent to the castle by the team members one after another. They didn't go far before they circled around the castle.
Not to mention, this castle was basically the center of the time, and there are many bunkers and village ruins nearby, but there are no one anymore.
But nothing was left behind. Zhu Yu and the others went around for three days, and finally returned to the castle.
At this time, the inside of the castle was almost renovated. I was able to live people. All that's left is the decoration of the corners and corners.
The geologists were still exploring the small lake, and when Cao Dalong arrived, he packed up his things, left the castle, and went to the city.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei didn't ask, now they are in charge of one of them, and they don't have that idle effort.
Zhu Yu's industry is big, although every time he comes out now, Zhu Yu still takes them, but he is no longer mainly responsible for protection and exploration. Each has to be in charge of a piece of business.
Zhu Yu and Vera also drove to the city. After all, the castle is not completely completed yet, and it is not easy for them to live in it directly, and they still need to buy some things.
After a few days in the wilderness, they need to wash and rest well.
After another two days, the decoration was completed, the technicians and workers were evacuated, and Zhu Yu and the others also moved the things they should buy into the castle one after another, and they lived in the castle the next day.
"Boss, here...... It feels different. Ran Jie sat on the first floor of the castle, looked at the richly decorated hall, and said with a smile, "This old Maozi style is not only rough." β
"Haha, there is a history of civilization anyway." Zhu Yu smiled, "Even if you are suppressed by the Golden Horde, you are not young." Moreover, the main direction of care of the double-headed eagle itself is in Europe, and it is normal to be greatly affected by that side. β
Ran Jie nodded, this is the truth.
"Boss, the exploration is almost over." Qin Fei pushed the door in, clapped his hands and said, "It has been determined, there is indeed a diamond mine down there." As for the reserves, it is difficult to say at the moment, but it will not be less. It's just that the diamonds that can be seen at the top are not very large......"
"It's okay, it's just a mine." Zhu Yu smiled, "Then hire someone to dig it." Zhu Yu said, "We have to stay here for a while." β
Of course, there are no big ones, and the big ones have already been picked up by the Tatars.
However, Zhu Yu believes that there must be a big man below!
After arranging the ore matter, Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie again:
"Let's go to the fort tomorrow, I always think there should be something good there."
"Okay." Ran Jie smiled, now that Zhu Yu is doing this, he is basically no longer a matter of money.
After all, although Ran Jie said that there are no big diamonds that have been discovered, no matter how small they are, the selling price of a carat diamond is 10,000 US dollars, and the cost price is several thousand, the problem is that this is a diamond mine!
How many can there be?
That's really hard to say.
So Zhu Yu must have made a lot of money here.
In the evening, Cao Dalong called Zhu Yu.
"Boss, I've found a cutting company." Cao Dalong reported, "It's a small company, but the craftsmanship is good. The first diamond I cut for him and he wanted to take ......"
Zhu Yu asked:
"What price does he give?"
"One piece." Cao Dalong took out the diamond, it had already been cut, Zhu Yu looked at it, it was almost more than ninety and one hundred carats, not particularly big.
"Three million dollars."
"What?" Zhu Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the price of this diamond to be so high!
"It's true!" Cao Dalong looked around, and then whispered, "There are more than a dozen of them in the bag I carry...... And...... There are even bigger ones. I brought two people with me, but now - a little worried! β
Today is the anniversary of the Xi'an Incident.
